John Wheeler assassinated ?

Arson attempt

Source: John P. Wheeler 3d planted incendiary devices at a neighbor's home in Del. days before his disappearance.

Police in Delaware have discovered evidence that a former Pentagon aide may have been involved in an attempted arson days before his murder, a law enforcement source has told The Inquirer.

Police found evidence linking John Parsons Wheeler 3d to devices planted at the New Castle home of a neighbor with whom he had been feuding, said the source, who is close to the investigation. The feud was over the size of the neighbor's house, which was under construction in the city's historic district.

The source emphasized that the evidence does not shed light on the murder itself, but it has helped detectives understand Wheeler's state of mind before he disappeared.
Wheeler was found dead in a landfill on Friday, and the police have trying to retrace his movements between Dec. 28 and then.

On Tuesday, police said a witness had come forward to say that Wheeler had been spotted alive in downtown Wilmington on Thursday afternoon. That is less than 24 hours before his body was found in a Wilmington landfill in refuse that came from trash bins in one of 10 possible locations in Newark, Del.

The case has drawn national attention - Newark police received roughly 70 media calls Tuesday - because Wheeler, 66, lived such a distinguished public life.

A Vietnam veteran who became a driving force behind the controversial memorial on the National Mall, Wheeler worked on nuclear, chemical, and cyber issues at the Pentagon. He was the first chief executive officer of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, a secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and a tireless advocate for veterans.

Wheeler left his office outside Washington on Dec. 28. His body was found in Wilmington on Friday. He was scheduled to take a Amtrak train from Washington to Wilmington on Thursday.

Detectives were able to verify that Wheeler had been seen Thursday near 10th and Orange Streets - close to the Hotel du Pont - but a police spokesman declined to say how this was confirmed. An executive at the nearby DuPont Corp. headquarters, which employs outdoor surveillance cameras, said that the company had "cooperated" with the police but declined to elaborate.

Police say they have no suspects and have released few details about the slaying - in part because they themselves have so many unanswered questions, including where the killing took place.

"We're still trying to [find] the crime scene," said Newark police spokesman Mark A. Farrall. "We're working a lot of leads."

Farrall has said that Wheeler died shortly before his body was discovered Friday, but has not described how Wheeler died - whether, for example, his death was caused by gunshot, bludgeoning, or some other violent act.

An official cause of death will not be released until "toxicology reports and other forensic studies" are completed, said Carl Kanefsky, a spokesman for the medical examiner.

"It's quite a mystery, and the length of time it's taking to solve it makes it more intriguing," said Bayard Marin, a lawyer who represented Wheeler in a dispute over a neighbor's plans to build a large house in New Castle's historic district.

The Wheelers tried to halt those plans in court, contending the house was too big for the neighborhood.

The incendiary devices were placed at the neighbor's home last week, police said, days before Wheeler returned from his part-time consulting job for the defense contractor Mitre Corp., located in McLean, Va., outside Washington.

Marin said he did not know if the devices or Wheeler's death had any connection to the building dispute, but he said tempers in the court case never rose to acrimonious levels.

Marin said he was interviewed by police Tuesday for 45 minutes, but he would not say what detectives asked. "I guess they are just gathering all the miscellaneous facts and hoping to tie them together to find something they can make of it," he said.

Meanwhile, in Manhattan, police on Tuesday searched the condominium that Wheeler and his wife had shared in a brick building on 124th Street for at least three years, the Associated Press reported.

Wheeler's widow, Katherine Klyce, who operates an international textile company with ties to New York and Cambodia, is unavailable for comment, according to a family statement.

The FBI on Tuesday offered "technical assistance" to the police, said FBI spokesman Rich Wolf. He declined to elaborate, but in FBI parlance, the term "technical assistance" typically refers to forensic assistance. It does not mean the FBI is conducting a full investigation.
In Delaware, authorities returned to the Cherry Island Landfill on Tuesday but kept reporters at bay.

Farrall, the police spokesman, said only, "We're looking for anything that might be of evidentiary value."

Sanitation crews used an alternative site at Cherry Island on Tuesday, so that police could comb the area where the body was found without interruption, said F. Michael Parkowski, a spokesman for the Delaware Solid Waste Authority.

Parkowski said it was not surprising that workers had discovered Wheeler's body in time to retrieve it from the landfill. He said truck drivers as well as workers known as "spotters" are trained to watch garbage for suspicious items as it is dumped at the site.

John P.Wheeler murder mystery deepens...

The murder of former Pentagon official John P. Wheeler III, whose body was found on New Year’s Eve in a Delaware landfill, has been baffling since it was first discovered. But the more facts that emerge about his mysterious death, the more perplexing it seems to become.

Newark police say images of a visibly disoriented Wheeler, a 66-year-old Beltway insider who had worked in four presidential administrations, were captured on surveillance videotape in downtown Wilmington as late as 8:30 p.m. on December 30, the night before his body was spotted at a local landfill.

The night before that, Wheeler, a West Point, Yale, and Harvard grad who helped create the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, wandered into a New Castle pharmacy at 6 p.m. and asked the startled pharmacist for a ride to the Wilmington train station, the Wilmington News Journal reported. Wheeler, who often commuted between Washington, New York, and Wilmington, owned a waterfront duplex that he inherited from his brother in the historic area known as Old New Castle, located about half a mile away.

Forty minutes later, several employees of the New Castle County Courthouse parking garage noticed a disheveled Wheeler, without a coat and holding one shoe in his hand, searching for his car and a place to stay warm. After the former special assistant to the secretary of the Air Force’s body was discovered, his car was located in another Wilmington parking lot.

Friends of Wheeler’s told The Daily Beast that they were unaware of any health problems that might be related to such uncharacteristic and bizarre behavior. Paul Linde, an emergency psychiatrist at the University of California San Francisco, said that disorientation that lasts for days can be caused by any number of medical or mental issues, including heart problems, stroke, stress, past mental illness, or a problem with medication.

But Linde said he didn’t think that someone Wheeler’s age was a likely candidate for a first-time psychotic episode. “It sounds like he had a break from reality, but it is hard to speculate on what could have caused it,” he said. While Wheeler’s death has been ruled a homicide, police say they are waiting for the results of toxicology tests before announcing a specific cause of death.

Another mystery is how Wheeler’s body ended up in a dumpster in a heavily traveled commercial area of Newark, a college town located more than 13 miles away. The garbage truck that picked up Wheeler’s body started its route before 4:30 a.m. and arrived at the landfill at 10 a.m., after making 10  stops at a variety of businesses, including a public library, a seniors’  complex, and a car dealership. Many of the dumpsters were either locked or had surveillance cameras posted nearby. Police say they believe that Wheeler’s body  was collected at the beginning of the route based on its location in the garbage truck.

Wheeler, who is described by friends and acquaintances as a passionate “bulldog” of a man, was best known in the New Castle area for a lawsuit he aggressively pursued for the last three years to stop the construction of a neighbor’s large new home that would have blocked his view of the Delaware River. Officials reported that on December 28, two smoke bombs typically used to exterminate rodents were thrown into that neighbor’s partially built home. It’s not clear however that Wheeler was involved in the incident, or that the dispute had anything to do with his death, despite local speculation to the contrary.

Newark Police Spokesman Lt. Mark Farrall said investigators aren’t even sure how or when Wheeler arrived in Delaware or where he was earlier in the week. They have been unable to confirm that he ever got on the Amtrak train from Washington to Wilmington on December 28 that he was scheduled to take. Wheeler’s wife was out of town and never reported him missing.

Robbin Laird, head of the defense analysis website where Wheeler worked most recently, told The Daily Beast that he got an email from Wheeler on December 26 complaining about being stuck in his Manhattan apartment by the recent snowstorm. Laird said he wasn’t sure Wheeler ever made it down to DC.

Friends who described Wheeler as a “constant emailer” said they began to suspect something was wrong when his electronic communications dwindled and he  didn’t even respond to celebratory missives after Army won its bowl game on  December 30.

“Jack was an avid supporter of cadet football,” said Laird. “That was the first thing that struck some as odd.”

John P. Wheeler death remains shrouded in mystery

Published: January 06, 2011
John P. Wheeler death remains shrouded in mystery
In the days leading up to his death, John P. Wheeler III was described in such terms as “dishevelled,” disorientated,” and “demented.”

Those descriptions are a far cry from the consistent behaviour of a man whose career has seen him in roles such as Army Officer and Pentagon aide. Not only that, John was also known by three former presidents, he helped raised money for the Vietnam Veteran Memorial and was affiliated with Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD).

So how does a man like John P. Wheeler, born 14th December, 1944, go from pillar of society to down and out in just a few short days?
Little is known about his last days, but what is certain is that Wheeler was deeply distressed by something. Some speculate that the building of a house across the street from his could be at the heart of it. Indeed witnesses claim they saw smoke bombs launched from Wheeler’s house into the unfinished property and minor fire damage occurred as a result.

Wheeler was said to be unhappy about the house being built there as it obscured his view of the Delaware River and adjoining park land. He had filed numerous complaints and tried unsuccessfully to halt the construction.

His grudges against the house aside, there is still no clear indication of what might have caused him to act so drastically out of character.

John P. Wheeler is seen in video footage wearing a suit with no tie, walking with a limp (presumably because one of his shoes was damaged), and his jacket appears to have dirt on the sleeve. Wheeler told witnesses that he had been attacked and robbed.

The catalogue of oddness that police and press have so far built doesn’t immediately point to a man behaving like a deranged vagrant, but more like someone in distress.


On December 28, 2010, Wheeler was reportedly seen getting off an Amtrak train, and two days later at 10th and Orange streets in Wilmington. On December 31, a worker at the Cherry Island Landfill site said he saw Wheeler’s body fall onto a garbage heap. Police have said that all the stops made by the truck carrying Wheeler’s body involved large commercial disposal bins in the Newark, Delaware area.


The police have kept tight lipped about his death, other than to say it was a homicide. Investigations are still ongoing and law agencies including the FBI are on a fact finding mission, trying to piece together Wheeler’s
movements in his final days.

FBI lab work has uncovered a link between Wheeler and the smoke bombs thrown into the house across the street and it is clear that his body was left in a dumpster in a heavily commercial area. Efforts, however, seem to be aimed at keeping the case as low profile as possible in order to gather all the information needed before making any public announcements.

Life after death: Katherine Klyce

The last time Katherine Klyce saw her husband, John Wheeler, she was mad at him. It was the day after Christmas, and she was looking forward to a relaxing few days at home in New York City. "I like the week between Christmas and New Year's because you can lie around and go to the movies," said Klyce. But Wheeler said he had to go to Washington, where he'd held numerous posts in the Reagan and both Bush administrations, and where he currently worked for a defense technology firm. Klyce was upset, but she didn't sense anything wrong. "He seemed just like Jack."

Nor was it a surprise when she didn't hear from him for a few days. Wheeler and Klyce, his second wife, had homes in New York City and New Castle, Del. Wheeler traveled a lot for work, so they weren't always in the same place at the same time. Klyce tried to call Wheeler a couple of times in the days after Christmas, but the calls went straight to voice mail. "That just made me madder," she said. They had plans to attend a cousin's wedding in Cambridge on New Year's Eve. When she couldn't reach her husband, Klyce went to the wedding without him.

It wasn't until Jan. 2, when she was back in New York, that she heard Jack was dead. His body had been found in a pile of trash at the Cherry Island Landfill in Wilmington, Del., the morning of New Year's Eve.* Newark police had first called Kate Wheeler, Jack's daughter by his first marriage who currently lives in New York. Kate went to Klyce and Wheeler's Harlem apartment to tell Klyce in person. "You hear it and you don't take it in," Klyce said in an interview. "It's like your brain doesn't absorb the news."

Since then, the news has sunk in. But if mourning wasn't painful enough already, it's even more so when there's no explanation. The details that have emerged fail to produce a complete picture of Wheeler's final days. There are bits of video from places he visited and pieces of testimony from people he spoke with before his disappearance, but they provide little understanding of whether his death was a random killing or, as Klyce suspects, a targeted operation. As the investigation has dragged on, Klyce has become increasingly frustrated with law enforcement. "If you write anything, I hope you write that the cops just made our lives miserable," she said.

Some facts are relatively straightforward: On Dec. 26, Wheeler apparently boarded an Amtrak train from New York to Washington. Two days later, he hopped back on the train to Wilmington, Del., a 20-minute drive from the family's home in nearby New Castle.

Then things get hazy. At 11:30 p.m. the night of Dec. 28, firefighters discovered a smoke bomb in the half-built house across the street from Wheeler's house in New Castle. The new home has been the subject of a long-running dispute between the Wheelers, who moved to New Castle in 1999, and the owners of the property, Frank and Regina Marini. The police haven't named Wheeler as a suspect in the smoke bomb incident. But local news organizations have reported that police found Wheeler's cell phone in the new house.

The next morning, Dec. 29, a cabbie picked Wheeler up at the Amtrak station in Wilmington and dropped him off about 12 blocks north. He was then off the radar until 6 p.m., when Wheeler stopped by a pharmacy near New Castle called Happy Harry's. He asked one of the pharmacists for a ride back to Wilmington. The pharmacist offered to call Wheeler a cab, but Wheeler declined and left. Nonetheless, he somehow got to a courthouse in Wilmington, where he told a garage attendant that his brief case had been stolen and he was looking for his car. (His car turned out to be at the Amtrak station three blocks away.) The video of Wheeler shows him walking back and forth along the halls of the garage, holding one of his shoes in his hand. Wheeler seemed confused, according to a parking lot attendant he spoke with.

Wheeler spent part of the following day, Dec. 30, wandering around downtown Wilmington. That afternoon, he showed up at the offices of the law firm Connolly Bove Lodge & Hutch, asking to speak with a partner. (Colm Connolly, the Wheeler family's lawyer, works in the same building, but not at that particular firm, despite the similar name.) When the receptionist returned, Wheeler had left. Security cameras later caught Wheeler wandering around the Rodney Square area north of where he'd been, now wearing a sweatshirt and heading toward the city's relatively dangerous East Side.

What happened next is the big question. Wheeler's body was first discovered coming out of a dump truck at the Cherry Island Landfill in Wilmington by a spotter, there to keep an eye out for hazardous waste. The spotter called the Wilmington police, who then phoned the Newark police, since the truck's route originated in their jurisdiction. The cops quickly ruled Wheeler's murder a homicide. But if police know how Wheeler got from Wilmington to a dumpster 13 miles away along the Newark truck route that leads to the landfill, they're not saying.

The lack of communication has frustrated Klyce. "They have been so bad," she said. "They've made my life so miserable." After Wheeler's death, the whole family went down to the Newark police station for questioning. "They treated us like criminals, all of us," said Klyce. "They were rude." The cops confiscated credit cards, financial records, and Wheeler's computer. In recent weeks, some of her cards have had mysterious charges, including two plane tickets from New York to Madrid totaling $3,000, according to Klyce.

Conflicting information about the cause of death has also been a source of stress. Police first told her that Wheeler had probably died of a heart attack. "You go up and down, up and down," she said. "Your brain says, maybe he would have had a heart attack soon anyway, to make it not so bad." When the Delaware medical examiner finally announced the cause of death on Jan. 28—"blunt force trauma," possibly from a beating—the family heard about it from the media. "I'm on the phone with his 90-year-old mother, she's asking me, 'Did he suffer when he died?,' and I can't tell her," Klyce said. Lt. Mark Farrall, a spokesman for the Newark Police Department, said that the police have "released as much as we can release without jeopardizing the investigation."
Despite the lack of communication from the police—or maybe because if it—Klyce is concerned that they're not devoting the proper resources to the case. "They just don't have a clue," said Klyce. "I think they wish it would all just go away." (Farrall said that the Wheeler case is the "top priority" in the department's criminal division.) So the family—Klyce, her two daughters, Wheeler's two children, Wheeler's sister and mother—tried a new approach. On Jan. 30, they announced a $25,000 reward for information that led to the arrest of Wheeler's killer. No one has responded.

The silence strengthens a hunch Klyce has had since the beginning: That Wheeler's death wasn't random. "I think perhaps no one has been on the reward because they've already been paid," she said. Then there's the way Wheeler's body was apparently moved from Wilmington to the dumpster in Newark. "The way they disposed of his body, it's a miracle anybody ever found it. That just sounds like a pro to me." Klyce isn't the only one to raise the possibility. Citing Wheeler's involvement in the military and government, Thomas McInerney, a retired Air Force officer, told ABC News: "A man with that experience, it could have been foul play to get some of the secrets he had."
Many news reports have described Wheeler as appearing "disoriented" and "disheveled" on the surveillance video. "I kind of thought he had dementia or something," said a parking lot attendant who spoke to Wheeler. Klyce saw the videos, and said Wheeler appeared normal—for Wheeler, at least. Wheeler's doctor, who has known him 40 years, agreed, according to Klyce. Wheeler had a terrible sense of direction. "He was disoriented every day in his life," she said. "He couldn't walk from here to CVS without specifically drawn maps." "He was probably most definitely lost," she added.

But she disputes the notion that he was crazy or demented. Wheeler, who was bipolar and took lithium for his condition, didn't always respond to social cues. "He was a touch Asperger-y," she said. "He couldn't read faces. He couldn't gauge other peoples' reactions." What about the shoe in his hand? "He didn't care about clothes," she said. "Jack was oblivious. Nothing sartorially peculiar about Jack is out of the ordinary."

Wheeler, a member of West Point's class of 1966 who became a subject of Rick Atkinson's book The Long Gray Line, was an odd combination of purposeful and oblivious. He had a gift for persuasion, especially when fighting for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the design of which many of his military colleagues opposed. "I told him, Jack, you're like a race horse," Klyce said. "If somebody puts you on the track, you'll win the race. But you'll never find the track unless someone puts you there." James Fallows, a journalist and friend of Wheeler, called him "a complicated man of very intense (and sometimes changeable) friendships, passions, and causes."

Wheeler did have enemies, says Klyce. But they were not the kind to leave someone in a dumpster. As CEO of the Deafness Research Association (Wheeler wasn't deaf), he enraged deafness advocates by telling them that cochlear implants were inevitably going to erase deaf culture. Numerous people opposed his vision for the Vietnam Memorial, including one future senator who once called up and told Wheeler's then-5-year-old son that he would kill his father, according to Klyce. But the memorial was built pretty much according to architect Maya Lin's design, which Wheeler supported, and the debate over it has long since subsided.

Wheeler was most recently in a disagreement with Frank and Regina Marini, the couple who were building the house across the street from Wheeler's house in New Castle. Wheeler objected not just because the new house would block their view of the Delaware River, but because he was annoyed that they were building on a historic battery where cannons sat during the War of 1812, Klyce said.

Wheeler threw himself into the legal fight over the Marini house. "He was a very intense person," said Klyce. "Everything he did he was intense about." First, the Wheelers got 82 fellow residents to sign a petition opposing the construction. In 2006, they formed a "Save Battery Park" group. In 2009, they accused the Marinis of improperly uprooting trees. Still, construction proceeded, and in December, a judge ruled that it can continue if the Historic Area Commission makes an exception. Klyce blames their failure to block construction on local politics: "It's a corrupt little town."

Klyce said she doesn't know anything about the smoke bomb incident on Dec. 28. "I think it'd be nutty—not to say that Jack wasn't capable of nuttiness—to do anything that would cause that much damn trouble when you don't have to."

In the weeks since Wheeler's death, thinking about the case—and dealing with logistics like changing bank accounts and organizing the funeral at Arlington National Cemetery, scheduled for April 29—has become Klyce's full-time job. Klyce founded a Cambodian textile company, Takeo Textiles, in 2004. But she's had to set that work aside for now. The energy she dedicates to the case, she says, is "whatever's not dedicated to sleeping."

Klyce knows it's not easy. In 1995, her sister was murdered in her Memphis home by her son's drug dealer. Finding the killer took 10 years. Klyce testified at the sentencing trial and attended subsequent parole hearings. "It never ends," she said. "People don't understand that about murders."

Last time around, though, she had Jack to help her through it. "This is worse," she said. "For a week or so, I'd wake up and expect Jack to be there. And then I wouldn't want to wake up at all because I knew he wasn't going to be there. Some days I'd wake up early and the sun would be coming up and I'd want to try to stop it. How does the sun have the audacity to shine when Jack's not here to look at it? It has to wait for him to get here."

John Wheeler's widow speaks but should she?

  • February 17th, 2011 10:52 pm ET
John Wheeler's widow Katherine Klyce has opened up to the public about the murder of her husband in an interview and the article by a Slate writer named Chris Beam appeared on MSNBC today, but should she have spoken--or said what she did?

Open homicide investigations are never helped by widows taking law enforcement to task in public venues, or sharing information police choose to keep close to the vest. Instead, it is almost like sabotaging the effort on purpose.

This type of action can be undertaken by those that feel they have come under suspicion of law enforcement, and Katherine Klyce says as much in the interview released today, saying this about the Newark Police Department "They've made my life so miserable" and "They treated us like criminals."

Since Katherine Klyce chose to speak out on the matter of the murder of her husband, she will now reap the result of that action through the commentary and article comments sure to follow from the general public.
The reading public will likely have an opinion on several issues she raised, in addition to these questions:

Why would a widow potentially jeopardize the investigation to find her husband's killer? What does she hope to gain from the public by doing this? And how can she hope to have good relations with the investigators after publicly saying such things about them?

The obvious conclusion to be drawn would be that Ms. Klyce drew the suspicion of the law enforcement community for some reason and when forced to comply with questioning and requests for financial documents and credit cards -- which she says police did request from her -- she began to think that attacking the police publicly might be her best legal recourse.

Football teams do this all the time. If they aren't good at defense they play offense.

Sometimes those who fear they will become the target of a murder investigation -- or who already have -- decide to play offense. Media interviews are given, media comments are made and efforts at influencing public opinion against a perceived adversary are undertaken.

"Lawyering up" is typically a procedure that occurs in homicide investigations when someone feels they are being suspected of foul play in a murder investigation.  But it was shared by The News Journal that Katherine Klyce sought a Delware attorney to represent her in interactions with police in Newark recently.

A lawyer isn't typically hired just to act as a go-between with police when your loved one is murdered. It is the exception, not the rule, contrary to what some may think.

This particular attorney began making the media rounds himself to publicly take issue with the investigative efforts recently, providing an exclusive sit-down interview with Delaware Online -- or as they are also known "The News Journal".

While making media rounds, hiring lawyers to do it for you and complaining about the police does not in any way make you guilty -- or prove you are guilty of a crime--it sure does make the public wonder why the fences are going up.

Just look at the Amanda Knox case to see the lengths some will go to paint a bad situation in a better light. The Knox family is seeking to discredit everyone involved in the judicial proceedings that had a hand in their daughter's questioning, interogations and conviction.

In instances in which someone is suspected of involvement in the murder of a person, an effort to rally the sympathy of the public prior to arrest might be undertaken. Sometimes this is followed by their arrest, but at other times that doesn't happen until more evidence is found to ensure a conviction.

Newark Police Department has remain tight-lipped and ever committed to finding the killer of John P. Wheeler III. Both the Newark PD and the Delaware ME offices have been extremely quiet about the investigation to date, and this recent media interview by Katherine Klyce helps the general public understand better why that might be.

John P. Wheeler III: Profiling the case from the beginning - the facts to date

  • February 22nd, 2011 1:14 am ET
If you have been following the John P. Wheeler III murder investigation news, you already know how complicated it is to keep all the facts about the case straight--and the family, friend, business associates, neighbors and witness comments as well.


To aid in that effort, and to assist those attempting to create their own working profile of the case, this article and criminal profiles column links are broken down into pertinent sections about the case as of February 22, 2011, with links to each article listed as the section heading.

Former Army Officer John P. Wheeler III: Who killed him?
When the case first broke, a basic report detailing who John was, his age, some comments from friends -- James Fallows of the Atlantic Magazine, in particular -- and details that were known initially (and shared with the public) were provided to readers. Fallows comments serve in this article to highlight some characteristics about John Wheeler that would prove useful later.

Vietnam Veterean's Memorial champion John Wheeler homicide - new details
A neighbor named Ron Roark would provide details about activity that happened at the Wheeler New Castle home mere days before Wheeler's body was found in the Cherry Island Landfill in Wilmington, Delaware in this article of the Wheeler homicide. Additional information was provided as well to help shed light on how the television activity could aid with the investigation by police.

John P. Wheeler III: The 'neighbors' twist
Additional case details emerged in the press pertaining to other neighbors who had made comments about John Wheeler. The Dills, for example, and others neighbors, who would not be mentioned later on by news outlets. In addition, information involving the dispute of John Wheeler with his across-the-street neighbors was included.

FBI 'Assists' Delaware police in John P. Wheeler III investigation
Up to Jan. 4, 2011, it was still assumed that the last sighting of John was at 3:30 p.m. on the day of the 30th, but that would be changing soon. However, this article details how the FBI became involved in the case and the extent to which they did so.
The smoke bomb issue is brought up and how that could impact the murder investigation.

Why some are saying John P. Wheeler 'looked homeless' in his last few days
Questions surrounding John Wheeler's mental state, alleged 'weird' behavior and appearances throughout the Wilmington, DE and New Castle areas, as well as statements made are discussed in this section of the profile articles. Attention is given to the words John used and how they were being played out in the media in a way that might not have been an accurate portrayal of what was going on with him at the time.

John P. Wheeler: Why the dumpster burial site was likely chosen

New evidence in John P. Wheeler III murder case: cell phone, footprint, cabbie
The case begins to gain evidentiary steam as more facts are released to the public about the behind-the-scene happenings.

John P. Wheeler: Eliminating the red herrings
All murder investigations have the potential for red herrings, those pieces of information or activities that occur between a victim and others (or in the lives of those they are close to, work with, live near) that can serve as a distraction that isn't pertinent to the solving of the murder. The Wheeler case was no exception and potential red herrings were discussed and debunked.


John P. Wheeler III: Family speaks through Newark PD again
While it doesn't happen often, it isn't necessarily uncommon for a law enforcement agency to speak on behalf of the family on the heels of a murder of a loved one. There are many potential reasons for this and they are expounded upon in this article, providing the reader with a better understanding of the motivations behind such actions.


John P. Wheeler case: Wilmington PD goes toe-to-toe with city council
As with many police departments throughout the country, sometimes their hands are tied in homicide investigations through no fault of their own. This can be due to budgetary constraints by city officials, politics or a number of other reasons. Unfortunately, the result can be a stall in an investigation and a lack of successful case resolution. John Wheeler's case crossed three jurisdictional areas in the state of Delaware: New Castle, Wilmington and Newark.


Addressing the alleged John P. Wheeler wrong death diagnosis theory
If you work a homicide sooner or later you are going to deal with the public or the victim's family questioning your death diagnosis of their loved one. The medical examiner (ME) tends to get it the most, but law enforcement (LE) gets their fair share too. In the John Wheeler case assumptions that it might have been an "accidental" death cropped up too, and it was probably in part due to speculation that resulted because of a lack of public information. Conspiracy theories arose to that end and were, for the most part, debunked logically in this article.

John Wheeler case: Would a victimology report help?
If readers missed any article and could only read one, it would be this one that would assist them the most in preparing a profile of the John P. Wheeler III case.

The loss of John Wheeler will be felt for a long time.

Quote:
He stood for freedom and truth,
He stood for correctness, not political correctness. He was gifted and talented.
And knew more than most on what elements were being used to attack us from
within. I can not say and will not say, what the motive for Johns killing was, for at
this point it is only innuendo and supposition. However I am almost as assured the
present administration will do nothing to really dig into the reasons for this senseless
homicide, John was more than likely getting ready to expose someone or some
group as to their subversive activity's. He will always stand in favor of those who
walked the tall grass. RIP. John. You have friends and the truth will finally be told
at all cost.
